Dan and his daughter Rachel are full of knowledge when it comes to older tractors. We are fortunate that they are willing to share there knowledge. Thank you both very much.
Just finished this project on my 62 Ford 2000. Had to rebuild the pump too, but all is working perfectly now. Shuddered a bit the first few lifts, but now running smoothly! Thanks Rachel!
My dad and I just repaired my 800's hydraulics using Rachel's parts and this video. Went smoothly and now my hydraulics work like new again! The toughest part was getting the pin out and putting the new hardened one (one of her grandpa's creations) back in. A little heat and in it went. Thanks again Rachel!
@@308dad8 hi, I will have to go back and see which part you're referring to. Yes we did this repair but I don't recall disconnecting any hydraulic lines. All of my repairs were under the top lid with the piston and lift mechanism.
This is a great video! Thank you for putting these together and giving those of us “intermediate “ shade tree mechanics a great resource for these older tractors. Me and my 641 thank you. The lift has been jumpy since I got it 2 years ago.
Thank you so so much as the rest of the population has also stated! My grandfather's Ford 600 was loosing lift and then just stopped working all together... Your kit was great with all the right orings and pieces needed. I think a good addendum to this video, would be how to take the main shaft out as to take the arm that holds the pin out for drilling the pin out. What at terrible time I had getting that thing out... Heating, beating and finally took the whole shaft out to remove that arm and drill the pin out! I was afraid of bending the arm or the shaft. But, you are awesome in all you do for the community of DIY'ers. Thank you again!
I love the way she gets straight to the point and doesn't waste people's time on these videos like most channels do. I like watching this channel I actually learn things when I watch this.
Knocking it out of the park lady! Great job. Don't mind supporting a company that provides such great advice and not just out to sell parts. Keep up the great job and stay safe.
With so many of these tractors still serving in the field, this is an excellent video that helps us small guys using older equipment. I just wish there were more of them, plus more books like her one on the Farmall Cub.....a great book that has already saved me money.
This is a wonderful presentation. This helped me get the confidence to tackle the job. At age 81 it gets a little tougher. There are however a few things that should be mentioned. In my case all went well until time to replace the pin. It would not come out and I had to take it to a welder / friend to heat it to get the pin out. Before he could do his job I needed to remove most of the linkages out so nothing would get damaged by the heat. The new pin was slightly bigger and would not go in so I needed to use a drill just slightly larger to ensure a proper fit. I also ordered Loctite to make a permanent bond. Putting everything back was good since I had the video for every step of the way. Not everything goes perfect every time but having a great presentation is very helpful. They also had the proper pin and gaskets. Thank you, Hank
I bought an 861 a couple months ago and had issues keeping my implements where I wanted them. drive a while and they drop to the ground. I watched this video and bought a couple pins and a gasket kit and pulled it apart (not a one man job but I did get it off and back on by myself). I love these Rachel videos. My pin was so bad that there was less than 1/16th of an inch left. A couple of things to mention. 1) make sure all the cylinders are all the way down (I shot fluid everywhere) 2) The pin will drive out , its just stuck pretty good. 3) Get help lifting on and off.
Rachel I have an NAA, but I watched this just because of some similar components. I would recommend using Kopper Coat anti seize. It makes a second disassembly much easier. Thank you about the pivot pin hint. I enjoyed and learned a lot about the project before I start on it. Grandpa bought the NAA brand new. 4 farmers in our neighborhood bought NAA’s. 3 were equipped with a Deerborn loaders with engine driven front pumps. We removed our loader. My cousin still has her loader on, but her 3 point will not lift. I need to check it out for her. Thank you so much for the video. Rachel I saw a neat video about the oil leak, it is called NAA Hydraulic Oil Leak by Random Stuff. You can see the hydraulic oil pouring out from the piston o-ring. On the NAA if you remove the huge hydraulic fill plug, you can see if the piston seals are leaking, I think that you can see how worn the pivot pin is through the fill plug. I do not know if the number series is built the same way. Hello from north east Montana. 10 miles from the Canadian border.
My grandpa was a mechanic at a Ford dealership during the 50’s, 60s and 70’s. Worked on these old fords every day. He could redo the hydraulics on one in no time. Would love to know how many thousands he did. It was my job as a kid to hand him wrenches. Back then at 7 or 8 yrs old I could have probably done one myself. Love the video. Brings back fond memories
Love your videos. It’s a great thing you’re doing helping people keep these old tractors alive. A video on replacing or repairing the two tubes that run through the transmission would be stellar. Apparently, it’s a very common problem. And offering new ones ready to install would be even better!
I bought parts from you last yr and fixed the hydraulics on my 1959 Ford 671. Your clear video was much better than reading my Ford Service Manual 15 times. 3pth/lift was working great, until Sunday when I tried to lift a heavy log w a chain attached to my 8' grader blade. Overload! a loud clank noise - I thought chain snapped. No. Something in hydraulics - no more lift action. I parked it. Will watch your Hydraulic Repair videos again to prepare for my 15 min Tech Help phone call. Looking fwd to speak w you tomorrow at 9 AM. Steve Miller
Great video. Just a little late for me. after my hyd not working on my 800 for 10 years and being frustrated about not fixing it, I bought a Woods backhoe and installed it on the ford. The 800 has been in the family since 1972 so it means a lot to me. Great Video again.
Ordered a Top lid kit for my 63 Ford 4140 light industrial and got it today. Started taking the lid off and oh my seems like none of the bolts have ever been out before as it was a chore. Thank You for the video helps ease the mind of what we’re gonna get into
I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos, both for the specific repair information, as well as techniques that can be applied across a multitude of tasks. You are not only knowledgeable, but also have a flair for educating others (something lacking in too many people trying to teach). Any family would be proud to have you as a member and any shop would be extremely lucky to have you turning a wrench. Hope all is well with you and yours as most of the nation "hunkers down in place." As a by-the-way, the IH Cub carb rebuild kit I bought from you was top notch. Thanks for your contributions to the old tractor community. Hopefully you can expand your offerings to further help us all and to help your business grow.
I also love the the way she tells you step by step how to and what not to do, I need to to know how to rebuild the rear remote Hydraulic on a 2000 ford tractor, or a diagram. Thanks Tim
your videos are the best i have ever seen on repairs. you never skip or fast forward thru things and you leave me with the confidence to try these repairs on my own. i wish you had videos on massey ferguson 200 series because i have one that shakes sometimes when you raise the lift with a heavy implement such as a 6' bush hog. thanks very much
How in the world does this excellent video rate 9 thumbs down? Rachel, your videos are ALL excellent! I am a Quaker farm boy, and when I was growing up on the farm as a boy, I dreamed of someone like you: smart, beautiful, and NOT afraid to get her hands dirty!! You're not one in a million, you are one in a billion! Bless your heart! God bless you and yours, Rachel! Be well...and thanks for your great videos!
Just found this channel and got my first 63 Ford 4000 last night. These are awesome. I wish there was a whole series on rebuilding the 4000 or something I could buy. I want to be able to do my own troubleshooting and repairs.
I dont mean to be so offtopic but does someone know a method to log back into an Instagram account? I stupidly lost the account password. I love any tips you can offer me
@Jaime Cody thanks for your reply. I got to the site on google and I'm in the hacking process atm. I see it takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
Great video, helped me get my failing 3-point lift back up and working smoothly. Used video to replace piston and piston O-rings, safety valve, hydraulic cylinder O-rings, and lid gasket. Used the Ford 600 manual and other resources to replace unloader valve O-ring (this was really failing on the lid), set loading-valve gaps (0.390 for draft control and 0.450 for implement control, see manual). Once all this was done the 3-point was raising and lowering as designed and holding, where before the work sometimes it wouldn't lift at all and when it did lift it wouldn't hold and would drift down requiring constant readjustment. Thanks Rachel!
This is just the video I've been waiting for!! So glad it's here to help with my "lazy" hydraulics on my 860 Now, let's do a top overhaul on the engine Rachel!
When you say "lazy", what do you mean? Because my 860's hydraulics have been great for years, but all-of-a-sudden doesn't want to pick up anything remotely heavy. I can't decide if what I have is what they're covering here.
@@kcaa3953My hydraulics only go up a short distance, barely lifting my rotary mower and they leak down in a matter of a few minutes. It makes it usless when using a 3 point post hole digger.
Thank you! I have a repair to do and yours is a straight forward intro to this. Cold weather here, so the point about using good fluids - the same - in all 3 makes sense. Cheers
Awesome videos. I’ve watched several of them now, You obviously know what you are doing, and I’ll be going to your website first for spares. You totally deserve it for taking the time to make such professional walk-throughs. Priceless overall service, :)
I really enjoy your videos. You have helped me have the confidence to try things I might otherwise not have tried. I will be trying this soon since my ford does just what you described in the video. I also watched your video on how to work on the carb and I did that and it really worked. Thanks again.
Awesome repair video 😎 You did mention going over what could be causing the tractor lift to be wobbly/hesitant when going up, but didn't mention what it likely was during the video.. unless I missed it. Any help would be much appreciated ☺️
I am going to buy an 801 Power Master and I really hope the hydraulics are shot so I can hire you to rebuild it. You are a wonderful teacher. I am impressed with your knowledge. Thank you for presenting this video.
Rachael, About the hardened pivot pins: the original pin was not hardened because it was a sacrificial metal. Any time you have 2 metals wearing together, one is designed to be the softer metal and take the most wear. Usually this soft part is the one that is easiest to replace. If the pin you removed was hardened, the yoke it goes through would have worn the hole large and/or oval. I think given the choice you would rather replace the pin than the other parts. When you rebuilt this engine you saw that your bearings were worn. You didn’t replace those with hardened bearings. That would have been a Bad Idea. I suggest you don’t change the original designers’ intent. Offer original soft pins. Great instructional videos. Keep ‘em comin’!
Do you know the correct length and diameter of the pins? Could get a machinist to make you some from mild steel. Also had that thought about hardened steel pin might wear the cam surface it rides against maybe causing more extensive damage than a pin that took 60 years to wear out in the first place.
This was a very informative and helpful video. I believe it will help me diagnose our tractor and make any repairs necessary. You have earned my subscription. Thank you for sharing.
I’ve had the O ring on the lid blow out & leak internally. One is pressure, one is return. On my 900, you can remove the left side cover where the dipstick is & look for leaks more easily. Drive the left wheel up on a block of wood to tilt the tractor & keep the oil from running out.
Thank you so much for this video, quite enlightening. My lift system won't lift an implement. It's a new Holland 7056. Last month it was repaired the mechanic said he rebored the cylinder. What do I do?
Thanks for a great tutorial, Can u please do one for a ford 3000 hydraulic linkage adjustments inside the top lid ,My arms only lift half way and only start moving half way thru the adjuster, Thanks
Not that it matters if she's engaged, why even comment on it? Congrats if you are Rachel, but thank you for helping me figure out how to get my 800 up and running like new!
Rachel, Good Morning. Not sure what kind of Super Glue my 640's previous owner was sniffing, but I think they used it to secure the Hydraulic Top Plate to the main casting. Dead Blow, Pry Bar, Post Spade, and Heat have proved unsuccessful so far. Any recommendations for releasing this adhesion? Any favorite places to strike the top plate with the dead blow? Any/All suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Phew, It was a tough fight, but I won. Increased Heat, and repeated all of the above finally broke the seal (Nearly hanging from the post spade, it gave up before I did). Your Vids Rock Rachel! Thank you sincerely for your channel, efforts and time!
I have a ford 8 br here in brazil. I disassembled it all, the hydraulic system and also the differential and hydraulic system are the same. It's a pity that you can't find parts for repairs here anymore
I have a ford 641. I had hydraulic oil leaking out the vent hole on a square plate below the transmission underneath during usage until the lift quits. Purchased a lift repair kit and replaced all the o-rings and relief valve on the lift unit, including the piston ring. (piston and cylinder were perfect). Still leaking out that hole. Leaves a trail of oil. Please give me your best guess. Thank you for your help and all your videos.
The lift on my 1951 8N will raise to full height sometimes and not so much most of the time. One thing I did notice is if I push the Position Control Lever forward beyond its normal resting place the lift maxes out every time. Do you have a remedy for this situation? I haven't begun to trouble shoot the issue as I need my tractor at this time. I may change the fluid first and then start the tear down as time allows. Thank you--Tony
When my 641 workmaster is sitting there running the hydraulic lift gives a little slight jerk but it don't go up or down just jerks a little bit just what could cause that
Thank you for the great video! Could you tell me how much hydraulic fluid does it take to fill all three of the reservoirs on a 1957 641 Workmaster? Thank you!
Use a universal tractor fluid (utf) that’s made for tractor hydraulics and transmission. Travelers has a cheap utv fluid and you can use the same fluid in all 3 sumps, trans, rear differential and 3pt
I was using an 800 with a cutting bar . when raising the bar the top link pushed in the top point and releif valve cycled dropping the lever would not release the pressure. I had to shut off to drop . after a few times something happened. It will not lift full height since.even with no impliment. When you pull upward on draft lever it will raise fully even when loaded but when you take hand off draft lever it will lower to about half height. I dont think there is fluid leaking . It seems to be an adjustment issue. when you pull up on draft the lever should stay up.with draft lever down it should still lift fully. Any ideas what needs to be adjusted or repaired. Relief valve seems to be ok and not going off. Any ideas Thanks for your videos I have your dads dvd on the ford hydraulic system.but I am not sure exactly where the problem lies
Could you please advise me? I have a 70s industrial ford tractor with loader. Its yellow and blue. I want to change the hydro fluid. Here's where I'm confused. There is no filler plug for the differential. There's a hydrolic hose & fitting where the filling plug would normally be. I can not find another tractor that's set up in this way. I don't know the exact model that it is. Thanks for any help you can provide...
Hi Rachel. Can you explain the operation of the lever just under the seat, on the right side of the Ford 800. It's about 3" long. Mine only moves about 45° and doesn't seem to do anything...
You showed pulling the top lid off, but what about the hoses you mentioned? Are they solid in place or do they need to be unhooked before breaking the top lid loose? Do they need addressed when putting it back on? Thanks
Hi love your videos. Have learned so much. I do have a question? How do you change the lower pivot pin on the hydraulic lift arm on the 1956 ford 600 series tractor?
I have a ford 860. It has a loader on the front so it has a line coming off the top of the box with a valve. The 3pt hydraulics work perfect, abosluty no problems. But the loader wont raise when I open the valve. If I jack up the loader then open the valve and close it, and let down the jack the loader will hold up. But as soon as I open the valve with no jack holding the loader it will fall. Dosnt matter rpm or in gear it wont raise. Any ideas? Thanks
Does the Pivot Pen shown here your Grandpa had manufactured fit the Jubilee/NAA ? I know you said they have a pivot pen, but is it that exact one so I could ordered a hardened for my Jubilee/NAA?? Thank you.
Hi Rachel...can u help me out with the arrangement of ford 6610 lever linkage mechanism? I have messed up mine and cannot set it back together. More like i need a manual or a video to be able to set it all up. Please aid
I cannot even find the relief valve that's shown in this video to order online or anywhere. The only ones I can even find online are for Ford tractors that are sizes 2000 and up. I have an 801 Powermaster. Guess I'm screwed.
I have an 800 tractor, when I move to raise the implement, hydraulic fluid gushes out from the gear shift and will stop when the fluid level is low. The hydraulics will not go up or down afterwards. What portion of the tractor is causing this problem?
In another video it was mentioned putting heat to help get the pivot pin out. Would the same work on a 600 series? Wasn't sure if it was different and might get damaged in some way.
Safety glasses young lady! Says the guy who's run a grinder, swung at a chisel etc un-bespectacled himself uh... more than one occasion. My new 860 quit lifting a few lifts after I bought it ☹. Thinking it's the unloading valve stuck. Video makes it much clearer than the manual, thanks. Might be looking for some parts from you guys soon.
Rachel, This is a great video, but you make it look to easy. I have tried everything and cannot get the pivot pin out. The Hydraulic Control Lift I had to cut it off because I broke it off piece by piece and it would not budge. I am afraid to go any further. I keep costing myself more money as I go along and you make it look way to easy.
Hello, There's a plate on the bottom of the hydraulic housing near the drain plug on my 640. Do you all sell a gasket for this plate? I need to replace the one on my tractor. Thanks.

I also watched your video on how to work on the carb and I did that and it really worked. Thanks again.
These videos are so awesome. Very appreciative to have these available
Awesome repair video 😎
You did mention going over what could be causing the tractor lift to be wobbly/hesitant when going up, but didn't mention what it likely was during the video.. unless I missed it. Any help would be much appreciated ☺️
I am going to buy an 801 Power Master and I really hope the hydraulics are shot so I can hire you to rebuild it. You are a wonderful teacher. I am impressed with your knowledge. Thank you for presenting this video.
Rachael,
About the hardened pivot pins: the original pin was not hardened because it was a sacrificial metal.
Any time you have 2 metals wearing together, one is designed to be the softer metal and take the most wear. Usually this soft part is the one that is easiest to replace. If the pin you removed was hardened, the yoke it goes through would have worn the hole large and/or oval. I think given the choice you would rather replace the pin than the other parts.
When you rebuilt this engine you saw that your bearings were worn. You didn’t replace those with hardened bearings. That would have been a Bad Idea.
I suggest you don’t change the original designers’ intent. Offer original soft pins.
Great instructional videos. Keep ‘em comin’!
Do you know the correct length and diameter of the pins? Could get a machinist to make you some from mild steel. Also had that thought about hardened steel pin might wear the cam surface it rides against maybe causing more extensive damage than a pin that took 60 years to wear out in the first place.
Absolutely beautiful, and the tractor is nice too :) no really, where else can you get all of this knowledge part by part. Great video!
This was a very informative and helpful video. I believe it will help me diagnose our tractor and make any repairs necessary. You have earned my subscription. Thank you for sharing.
I wish she lived close to me. This lady knows her stuff. Thank you.
I really enjoy your videos. They are very precise and very informative. Thank you for from a novice tractor owner.
Hi Rachel! Glad you have a new video up.
Beautiful,smart and gives the best presentation that I have ever heard on utube. Ratings on 1 to 10 scale she is a 15
I’ve had the O ring on the lid blow out & leak internally. One is pressure, one is return. On my 900, you can remove the left side cover where the dipstick is & look for leaks more easily. Drive the left wheel up on a block of wood to tilt the tractor & keep the oil from running out.
If your fluid is filled to the proper level none should come out or not much
Great video! I ordered the kit and piston. That pivot pin was a little stubborn, but got er done today!
Love your instructional style; very thorough and clear! I much appreciate this video series, thank you!
Been missing your videos. Always great job
I have driven lots of tractors and it is fun to do it I have fixed theme as well it is a good hobby to have
Thank you for the repair lesson, perfect as usual!
Your tutorials are confidence inspiring. Thanks!
Thank you so much for this video, quite enlightening. My lift system won't lift an implement. It's a new Holland 7056. Last month it was repaired the mechanic said he rebored the cylinder. What do I do?
Thank you Dan and Rachel .
Wow! Rachel is gorgeous and a very competent mechanic.
Great video, Please do not use the abrasive wheel to clean the gasket off. The grit is very bad for everything. You do a very good job !
Thanks for a great tutorial, Can u please do one for a ford 3000 hydraulic linkage adjustments inside the top lid ,My arms only lift half way and only start moving half way thru the adjuster, Thanks
Por otra parte estoy buscando un manual de taller del Ford 2n, podríais publicarlo y así poder compartirlo con todos nosotros??
Engagement ring? 2:00 Some dude must be smiling right now.
Some lucky guy!!!
Not that it matters if she's engaged, why even comment on it? Congrats if you are Rachel, but thank you for helping me figure out how to get my 800 up and running like new!
Rachel, Good Morning. Not sure what kind of Super Glue my 640's previous owner was sniffing, but I think they used it to secure the Hydraulic Top Plate to the main casting. Dead Blow, Pry Bar, Post Spade, and Heat have proved unsuccessful so far. Any recommendations for releasing this adhesion? Any favorite places to strike the top plate with the dead blow?
Any/All suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Phew, It was a tough fight, but I won. Increased Heat, and repeated all of the above finally broke the seal (Nearly hanging from the post spade, it gave up before I did).
Your Vids Rock Rachel! Thank you sincerely for your channel, efforts and time!
I have a ford 8 br here in brazil. I disassembled it all, the hydraulic system and also the differential and hydraulic system are the same. It's a pity that you can't find parts for repairs here anymore
I hope my daughter grows up to be a lady like you. you are great
Would love to know what might be wrong if you don't see any fluid movement while looking through the fill hole. I've already replaced the pump.
I have a ford 641. I had hydraulic oil leaking out the vent hole on a square plate below the transmission underneath during usage until the lift quits. Purchased a lift repair kit and replaced all the o-rings and relief valve on the lift unit, including the piston ring. (piston and cylinder were perfect). Still leaking out that hole. Leaves a trail of oil. Please give me your best guess. Thank you for your help and all your videos.
Another great video Rachel, thank you.
The lift on my 1951 8N will raise to full height sometimes and not so much most of the time. One thing I did notice is if I push the Position Control Lever forward beyond its normal resting place the lift maxes out every time. Do you have a remedy for this situation? I haven't begun to trouble shoot the issue as I need my tractor at this time. I may change the fluid first and then start the tear down as time allows. Thank you--Tony
You give very good information, Madam thank you 👍🇮🇳🚜🚜😁😁
When my 641 workmaster is sitting there running the hydraulic lift gives a little slight jerk but it don't go up or down just jerks a little bit just what could cause that
Thank you for the great video! Could you tell me how much hydraulic fluid does it take to fill all three of the reservoirs on a 1957 641 Workmaster? Thank you!
Use a universal tractor fluid (utf) that’s made for tractor hydraulics and transmission. Travelers has a cheap utv fluid and you can use the same fluid in all 3 sumps, trans, rear differential and 3pt
I come here for Rachel 💖
Hey back off guys. She is my crush
She is good. Very knowledgeable . The top!
I was using an 800 with a cutting bar . when raising the bar the top link pushed in the top point and releif valve cycled dropping the lever would not release the pressure. I had to shut off to drop . after a few times something happened. It will not lift full height since.even with no impliment. When you pull upward on draft lever it will raise fully even when loaded but when you take hand off draft lever it will lower to about half height. I dont think there is fluid leaking . It seems to be an adjustment issue. when you pull up on draft the lever should stay up.with draft lever down it should still lift fully. Any ideas what needs to be adjusted or repaired. Relief valve seems to be ok and not going off. Any ideas Thanks for your videos I have your dads dvd on the ford hydraulic system.but I am not sure exactly where the problem lies
Could you please advise me? I have a 70s industrial ford tractor with loader. Its yellow and blue. I want to change the hydro fluid. Here's where I'm confused. There is no filler plug for the differential. There's a hydrolic hose & fitting where the filling plug would normally be. I can not find another tractor that's set up in this way. I don't know the exact model that it is. Thanks for any help you can provide...
great video parts i ordered worked great i'm mechanically inclined but could not have guessed what all that boloney inside did ...thanks ...go well
I noticed your hydraulic cylinder for the hundred series tractors are out of stock. any idea if you will get more?
Hi Rachel. Can you explain the operation of the lever just under the seat, on the right side of the Ford 800. It's about 3" long.
Mine only moves about 45° and doesn't seem to do anything...
You showed pulling the top lid off, but what about the hoses you mentioned? Are they solid in place or do they need to be unhooked before breaking the top lid loose? Do they need addressed when putting it back on? Thanks
Hi love your videos. Have learned so much.
I do have a question?
How do you change the lower pivot pin on the hydraulic lift arm on the 1956 ford 600 series tractor?
Good video. By the way a whizzy wheel is a Roloc Disc.
It would be nice it you did a video about draft and position control linkage adjustment.
I have a ford 860. It has a loader on the front so it has a line coming off the top of the box with a valve. The 3pt hydraulics work perfect, abosluty no problems. But the loader wont raise when I open the valve. If I jack up the loader then open the valve and close it, and let down the jack the loader will hold up. But as soon as I open the valve with no jack holding the loader it will fall. Dosnt matter rpm or in gear it wont raise. Any ideas? Thanks
Does the Pivot Pen shown here your Grandpa had manufactured fit the Jubilee/NAA ? I know you said they have a pivot pen, but is it that exact one so I could ordered a hardened for my Jubilee/NAA?? Thank you.
Hi Rachel...can u help me out with the arrangement of ford 6610 lever linkage mechanism? I have messed up mine and cannot set it back together. More like i need a manual or a video to be able to set it all up. Please aid
I cannot even find the relief valve that's shown in this video to order online or anywhere. The only ones I can even find online are for Ford tractors that are sizes 2000 and up. I have an 801 Powermaster. Guess I'm screwed.
I have an 800 tractor, when I move to raise the implement, hydraulic fluid gushes out from the gear shift and will stop when the fluid level is low. The hydraulics will not go up or down afterwards. What portion of the tractor is causing this problem?
In another video it was mentioned putting heat to help get the pivot pin out. Would the same work on a 600 series? Wasn't sure if it was different and might get damaged in some way.
Safety glasses young lady! Says the guy who's run a grinder, swung at a chisel etc un-bespectacled himself uh... more than one occasion. My new 860 quit lifting a few lifts after I bought it ☹. Thinking it's the unloading valve stuck. Video makes it much clearer than the manual, thanks. Might be looking for some parts from you guys soon.
I have seen people with external controls with the linkage removed would that be a good alternative to the linkage
Have you ever seen any issues related to the unloading valve being stuck?
Rachel, This is a great video, but you make it look to easy. I have tried everything and cannot get the pivot pin out. The Hydraulic Control Lift I had to cut it off because I broke it off piece by piece and it would not budge. I am afraid to go any further. I keep costing myself more money as I go along and you make it look way to easy.
hope you respond, my hydrolics work but my shilfting lowering lever only moves 1" i have not take anything apart but the keyway and disc, help
Awesome job. Very thorough. thank you!
Hello,
There's a plate on the bottom of the hydraulic housing near the drain plug on my 640. Do you all sell a gasket for this plate? I need to replace the one on my tractor.
Thanks.
Hi Rachel.
Great video as always.
